O.K. I am not that familiar with the UK being a sixth generation Texan, but I know there is a hotel with all of the Olympic stuff in it. If this is the Britannic parts, then this is where they went. The interiors of Britannic were taken out and put into storage, when she was converted to a hospital ship. When she sank, they were left in storage somewhere in the UK, I assumed they were gradually put into Olympic when she needed repair, much like how a Rolls Royce has a set of interior panels on file to replace any that were destroyed in a wreck.
I once had a 1959 Silver Shadow, american drive, V-8, which was broad-sided by this woman who backed out of her driveway. She didn't look back! Her husband came out on the front porch and fainted!
We had to replace the door, which cost at the time as much as a brand new car. The wood was kept on file at the Rolls Royce works. This was 1975.

If this is the Brits interiors, we have a major find here. Photograph them!

Sincerely,

James Pepper
